Hi, I’m Elyse

1. I mostly write – but have been dipping my toes in behind the scenes
2. Dramedy rules my heart. This Is Where I Leave You, The Big Chill, Crazy Stupid Love, anything by Nancy Meyers.
3. Something crunchy like Hippeas or pretzels!

Also watched 2 short films recently that I really enjoyed:
The Part We Keep by Minnesota filmmaker Owen Royce

Meatball by Alexandra Robinson

And I’m hoping to watch Kajillionare by Miranda July before the weekend is done – borrowed a copy from the library.

Heading into the weekend, drop a quick line below:

Are you on set/in edit this weekend, or catching up on films?

If you are watching something good, drop the title so we can add it to the list.

Does anyone have any experience with Klipist for short film distribution? It’s an interesting model – you pay a one-time fee if selected and filmmakers retain full rights and can take it down at any time.

I’ve also been enjoying the content – the shorts I’ve seen have great production value and are really interesting. It’s free to watch the…

So I’d love to submit to it one day. I also would love to attend a film festival in another country, maybe Venice or BANFF but also smaller ones could be really interesting <3

Hi everyone! Great to see some new faces this week.

Since we’re in peak festival submission season, what’s one festival you’ve always wanted to submit to (or attend), and why?

Sometimes filmmaking and taking risks are a packaged deal. You never know what will land. Let’s hear, what’s the biggest creative risk you’ve taken so far?

I think in general for me, the more personal a work is, it feels like a risk and very vulnerable to share it with the world. I’m thinking of some stage shows I did in Chicago and some essays, I haven’t really done a super personal film yet… Curious to hear what others think!
